My mother threw out my set I collected in the 60s. A Mantle, Maris, Rocky

Colivito and Sam MacDowel, Sandy Koufax, Sachel Paige and a few hundred others. It was in a shoe box and she said it went with the rest of the Junk in my closet. I'd been gone from home 20 years. You can't hate your mom. (or my forgetfulness).

Better investment. Bitcoin or Spidey comics?**
Hokebury • 03/08/24 01:34 PM ET
At least one has utility value.
GreenvilleVT • 03/08/24 11:14 PM ET
Hmmmm.... 🤔**
Will StewartAdmin • 03/08/24 02:01 PM ET
I’m pretty sure I have that Spider Man. Are you telling me that
Late 80s Hokie • 03/08/24 11:34 AM ET
Graded copies of that comic start breaking $1k at the 6.0 (Fine) mark.
Naelbis • 03/08/24 06:53 PM ET
Depending upon condition, yes
Will StewartAdmin • 03/08/24 01:23 PM ET
Good for you Will!

Never leave home without it!**
HOKIE • 03/09/24 07:57 AM ET
But do you have the 1978 Kellogg's 3D Mike Schmid?t
DoYouLiftHokies • 03/08/24 02:31 PM ET
Dang it. Don’t have that one.
Big Sexxxy • 03/08/24 04:30 PM ET
Drank quite a few beers at the old Met Park

I've still got probably several thousand old baseball cards.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/08/24 11:19 AM ET
Same, maybe 20,000 cards or more
Freighttrain • 03/08/24 03:53 PM ET
You might want to check that 1990 set. If it's a Topps set, there's...

UTPr0sim • 03/08/24 11:27 AM ET
My mom is the opposite.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/08/24 11:32 AM ET
What year/condition is your Mantle?**
Will StewartAdmin • 03/08/24 11:26 AM ET
I had 61 (62?) Manager's Dream with May's and Mantle
TomTurkey • 03/08/24 11:32 AM ET
I have a '62 Mantle #200
MP4VT2004 • 03/08/24 12:57 PM ET
I had lots of early 60's cards. Some in the 50's. Mantle's 565 ft. hr fave.**
TomTurkey • 03/08/24 01:01 PM ET
Yeah I have my dad's old cards. When I was about 10 years old...
MP4VT2004 • 03/08/24 01:33 PM ET
Great condition, I'll bring it into the office next week and show you.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/08/24 11:30 AM ET
Off the top of my head, I think it's this one...**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/08/24 11:35 AM ET
Could be worth a lot depending how it's graded
Big Sexxxy • 03/08/24 01:54 PM ET
It's in a glass case, so I figure VG condition at worst.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/08/24 02:07 PM ET
That's a nice-looking card**
Nova Hokie 95 • 03/08/24 11:57 AM ET
Found it in a baseball card store in Danville on Piney Forest road.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/08/24 12:03 PM ET
